It
would be a mistake for you to feel
my
silence as a shield against your love,
for
I have ever held you close in thought
to
fill the shadows that are gathered close—
and
kept you in those dreams and wonderings,
forever
at the heart of my repose.
I
look to find a song to make you glad,
to
bridge this darkness that will not requite,
a
faith to bend my wishing to your needs,
to
break your silence, that my silence brings.
My
stubborn orbit soon will be unwound,
to
feel the patient tenure of your pull,
no more eclipsing radiant delights,
nor
folly to resist that final fall.
